Time it right
Events on the riverbank kick off at 12pm at Bishop’s Park, Fulham where there will be bars, street food stands and a big screen to watch the BBC live coverage of the race, and the Adnams Fan Park in Furnivall Gardens, Hammersmith. At 1.56pm the traditional pre-race coin tosses begin, but it’s not until 3.44pm that the riparian riot gets into full swing when the starting gun marks the beginning of The Women’s Boat Race. The Men’s Boat Race takes place an hour later at 4.44pm.
